It took four tries but the Houston Texans finally broke through and won a game on another’s team home field. The 24-21 victory at Jacksonville saw running backs Lamar Miller (83) and Akeem Hunt (52) combine for 135 of the club’s 181 yards on the ground. Brock Osweiler threw for only 99 yards and barely completed 50 percent of his passes (14-of-27) but he connected for a pair of touchdowns. More importantly, the Texans played a game without committing a turnover for the first time this season. Houston’s gained only 273 total yards in the contest but made enough plays on both sides of the ball to prevail.
<p>Next Week: After waiting half the season to win away from home, can the Texans come away with a surprise victory outside of the country. There will be a battle of teams both in the playoff mix on a Monday night in Mexico City as the Oakland Raiders play host to O’Brien’s club.</p>
<p>Playoff hopes: At 6-3, the Texans are the only team in the AFC South above .500. But there’s still a lot of football to be played and this Houston club is still trying to find itself, especially on offense. But Osweiler and his teammates have put themselves in a good position to repeat as division champions should they continue to play consistent football.</p>. 6-3. Previous: .
